Breaking News – The property market in Wembley gets the go-ahead

A 90 second special news. According to an estate agency news website, restrictions around property viewings and transactions are to be lifted tomorrow.

At 7.30 pm this evening Estate Agent Today published an article stating that the Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick is expected to announce that the housing market in England can resume. They also went onto say it will mean estate and letting agents can return to work.

The report is based on a Government document called Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Regulations 2020 which came out this evening.

All of what follows will be subject to strict social distancing rules which we will adhere to and our 6-point plan to return to work.

It states that people can visit estate or letting agents, developer sales offices or show homes.
They can view residential properties to look for a property to buy or rent.
People can prepare a residential property to move in or move out.
Valuations and property inspections are now allowed.

Of course the news has been well received by all at Grey & Co as we have many people wanting to buy, sell move and rent new properties.

We have been experiencing a surge of property enquiries from people looking to move and we’ve been getting prepared for this moment since the lockdown began.

We will still be using video tours as our first port of call before arranging physical viewings.

We have our clean protocol in place, most of our PPE at the ready and we’re itching to help people in Wembley get moving.

But amid that excitement we also know we have a weight of responsibility above our roles as estate agents.
And that is to practice social distancing properly, follow the Government’s health and safety guidelines and ultimately look after the wellbeing of our clients, our team and our community.

We will not be re-opening our office immediately as we await the arrival of some pre-ordered screens and spacing equipment. However, we have continued working at full capacity from home since we closed our office on 20 March 2020.

We’ll be on hand from tomorrow morning, as usual, to answer any of your questions.

Stay Safe and Take Care x.

The latest Consumer Prices Index (CPI) released by the Office for National Statistics revealed that inflation increased from 1.7% in September to 2.3% in October. But how exactly does inflation impact the property market?

In the past decade, millions of Brits have snapped up home tech gadgets to monitor their kids, cats, dogs and deliveries. About one in five homes has a doorbell camera, while thousands more have pet CCTV or video baby monitors. With all this kit installed, it’s probably no surprise that some people have taken to using it for another purpose.

In an age of sensational headlines, the UK property market—particularly in Wembley—often finds itself misinterpreted. While we cannot ignore the challenges of higher mortgage rates and shifting buyer preferences, it is vital to appreciate the broader context to understand what's happening in the Wembley property landscape.
